Do you have a CES service running on your local development environment or does your development indexes are on the same CES instance as the production indexes?

If the development and production indexes are on the same CES instance, setting the <SourceName> of the indexes in your local Coveo.SearchProvider.config file would work.

If the development and production indexes are on different CES instances, you would also need to configure your local config files to use all the services of the production CES server (Admin Service, Queue, Certificates, Search Service, REST endpoint...).

Thanks, yes the dev and prod instances are the same. By setting the SourceName to prod's web, am I also be indicating that my local sitecore items should be indexed on that source? Just want to make sure I am only querying and not updating prod index with local content.

Yes, if you set the <SourceName> to a source X, your development items will be indexed in that source. Be cautious to not trigger any indexing/publishing operation in your development environment if you don't want production source to be messed up.
